By now you probably know that menopause is a natural phase of our lives where the declining levels of estrogen and progesterone lead to significant hormonal changes in the body. While it's a normal part of aging (and can be a beautiful time in a woman's life) these shifts can bring challenging symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, mood swings, among many other things, that many of us find draining and downright disruptive.

Experiencing a Racing Heart?

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, during which a woman's body undergoes significant hormonal changes. One of the hormones that fluctuates during perimenopause is estrogen. These hormonal fluctuations can have various effects on the body, including the cardiovascular system, which can contribute to a racing heart.
